“I never thought this song would surface. It was just a voice memo on my phone of me tapping on my dining table and singing ‘Call it Coca Cola, call it sweet. Causing cavities within my teeth’. The thing is I never drank Coca Cola. Growing up, I could have any soft drink I wanted… except that one.
Coca Cola is about watching someone trying to cover their tracks. It’s calling that person out and letting them know they’re not going to get away with it. It’s about standing up for those who don’t feel strong enough to stand for themselves. This song is a flagpole for anyone who has been grossly mistreated and thinks they won’t be heard or believed. The truth ALWAYS comes out in the end, you will be heard and peoples true colours will be seen.”
